Snow, snow, and more snow! Definitely a WHITE Christmas!!
Aaron scored a new pancake griddle. Supersized!
Mom got a pair of black leather boots. Don't they look sexy with the pj's?
Can you see the excitement?? More teenie tiny pieces to become victim to the vacuum.
Logan LOVES his new train tracks and accessories.
Emily got a Bumbo seat. She looks so cute!
Okay, so I'm putting this question out to my faithful bloggers - Should I cut Emily's hair?? Miss Emily came out with a full head of hair and has only lost a little around the signature reverse Friar Tuck hairline. Her full head of hair has been her trademark but she's got this funky baby comb-over/mullet/side burns thing going on. I've trimmed her bangs to keep them out of her eyes, but I keep thinking I should take her in and get everything trimmed up and evened out. Her new hair growth is coming in lighter like the big kids. When Logan's hair got to this point it was no big deal to cut it since he was a boy. Kaya was close to one before her hair was long enough to really do anything with. So what do you think? Should I get it cut by a professional (Not brave enough to do it myself) or just let it grow?
Kaya: Look! There's a cemetery and it's decorated with Christmas.
Dad: Kaya, do you know what a cemetery is?
Kaya: Yeah, It's where we go to find prizes! (Geocaches)
Dad: What else do they have at cemeteries?
Kaya: Pretty Flowers
It was pretty funny that Kaya associates cemeteries with finding geocaches. Silly Girl! We have obviously found several "prizes" in various cemeteries.
Since they like to be outside, we might as well put them to work...
We must have really worn the kids out today, since this is how we found them (with the babysitter) after we got home from our neighborhood Christmas party.
It was pretty funny to find them asleep in the same bed.I can't believe it has been almost a MONTH since I've updated our blog. We have just been busy. For about the last 3 weeks before Thanksgiving, I spent every free moment finishing up my mom's scrapbooks. It took me about 3 years - but I organized and scrapped all my mom's photos from the last 30+ years. Now I just need to teach her how to digital scrap so that she can get all her pictures off the computer. After the holidays, I can start working on my own scrapbooks again. I'm a bit behind now.
Our family traveled to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. My whole family met up at my parent's time share. We had a GREAT time and enjoyed spending time with family. It was fun & crazy to have the 7 cousins together for 5 days. Thanks to our good friend Tricia, we were able to do some fun family photos. I can't wait to see how they turned out.
Since coming home from Las Vegas, it seems like we've just been trying to keep up and get back on schedule while preparing for Christmas. We've been able to get some fun family activities in there too. Here's a few pictures from the past few weeks:
We took the kids to the Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah.
Emily is getting so big. She now enjoys sitting in the exersaucer and enjoys tummy play time of the floor. She likes to sleep on her stomach and can now roll from her tummy to her back.
This is Damien (8-13-08), Emily (8-8-08), & Wyatt (9-26-08) - The 3 youngest cousins. Look how much bigger Damien is compared to his cousins! (It doesn't hurt that his dad is 6 ft 5 in.) Even Wyatt was about a 1/2 inch longer than Emily.
We took the kids out geocaching to Eureka, UT - a semi ghost town. We had a fun day!
Kaya attended a baptism this morning with Aaron. She looked so cute before she left that I had to snap a quick picture!
Kaya asked Santa for a Barbie Rapunzel.
Logan asked Santa for a Brown Train.
Emily just wanted to go home and go to bed. We waited for over an hour at our church Christmas party to visit with the big guy.
